Glancing Backward

Glancing backward
Can’t remember much
Other than wind in my hair
Performing in the clutch

Tough conversations
And momentary elations
Working harder than most
And proud enough to boast

Wish I could remember
Something other than dust
Like smiles and hugs
And embraces with thugs

With eyes wide open
Remembering today
Locking in the moments
Wondering what you’ll say
